As I said I'd go to Knebworth for the day, and then there's the opening of Diamond Head, but personally I can't justify that if they're performing in Dublin

Cheap Ryanair flight's and free accommodation always invite me home:D

What I won't give for that rumour to be ture on Monday. I was considering a trip to Download or maybe even Sonisphere, but forget all that if there is an announcement.

EDIT:

Saw this on MCD's facebook page. Perhaps the orgin of all the rumors?

We've got some seriously exciting news for Monday morning...

A couple of people i text this evening said they heard it was Aiken(hence the RDS i'd imagine) promoting. This could all be a big load of hot air but one guy i know based in the UK had heard the RDS mentioned 2 days ago!! He could be on the wind-up though!:D

Would love it to be true. Was planning on hitting Knebworth but waiting to see if day tickets come up for that. Had a look at the German Sonisphere and nearly had a coronary when i seen the prices!!:eek:

An Irish date would solve all them problems.

You and me both man. €126.90 it quoted me for a "front stage left" ticket.

Yeah,i got similar. Throw in flights and accommodation and it'd cost a small fortune. I'd get a week in the canaries for that money!!

Does anybody believe that should an Irish date be announced tickets for the 'Golden Circle' would be any cheaper?? I certainly don't

As a one-off non-Sonisphere date i couldn't see prices being that high. I've never understood this whole "special pit","golden circle","special side of stage" areas. It's standing(and sitting if available) and that's it. I think ticket prices here like the German date would be commercial suicide with things the way they are now. €80 would be the ceiling for me for an outdoor show. €100+ to stand in a field,no thanks!

I would love to see Aiken promote this event - I hold no favours with either company - but given that MCD really ****ed me over with Guns N' Roses last September (no, I haven't forgotten) then I would be more easily prepared to give my hard earned to Aiken

I guess the only question remains, if Metallica do play Dublin, who will the support be? lol

As it'd be a big 4 show i guess it'd be megadeth, slayer and anthrax, unless you're awesome knowledge can come up with something else :rolleyes::rolleyes:

I was actually being sarcastic;)

Would love to see this in Aviva Stadium, I reckon that would provide a nice change of scenery from the usual

Metallica.com, how informative.

That message seems to imply that there will be a few weeks between announcements.

I would give anything to see that happen

I think the announcement should be out today

D.Q

Well it is the bands official website, so any gig announcements are going to be made there first. And, the reason that there is a gap between announcements, is to keep the punters(you and me)interested/guessing. They do it on all their tour announcements.

Very clever tactics.
